the time period involved and have not
been filtered through interpretation or
evaluation. Primary sources are original
materials on which other research is
based. They are usually the first formal
appearance of results in physical, print or
electronic format. They present original
thinking, report a discovery, or share new
information.

benefit of hindsight. They are
interpretations and evaluations of primary
sources. Secondary sources are not
evidence, but rather commentary on and
discussion of evidence.
